Any advice for filming a climbing video besides don't look like a jackass? This video will be used for advertising for my contract climbing company.

Don't over use go-pro - it makes people sea sick.
Don't pirate music - it's never appropriate, especially so in a commercial endeavour.
Decide on what size you finished result will be 480 x 270 or 1920 x 1080 - because that which looks good on a smart phone may not look so good on a lap top; and that which looks good on a lap top may not download that well on a smart phone.
And search 'tree care' on Vimeo and see what works.

X2. To what Tara2 said!

Also keep it short. No longer than a minute or to total. The individual shots/clips should be short as well. Like 10 seconds or less. Each clip should be a mini story with a beginning middle and end. Those get pieced together into an over all story that is your video. Remember, less is more. Video is a powerful medium. One which we all adapt at.

Do not be afraid to directly copy a video/show/ etc. you admire, just give credit and make yours original with your own video and music you have permission to use.

Here is a good book on the subject I enjoyed.

Putting a video together is not all that different from writing a book!
